# Drift Hunters: how scoring, cars and tuning work

Source: https://roam.new/drift-hunters/ Roam is our app, and the Roam team wrote this page.

Drift Hunters is a free 3D drifting game made in Unity by Studionum43, the studio name of Ilya Kaminetsky. You pick a car, slide it around tracks for points, and spend the money on new cars and tuning. It is a web game you find on sites like CrazyGames, made for desktop with a keyboard.

## How drift scoring works

Points come from holding a slide. The longer, faster and more sideways the drift, the more it is worth. Straighten out, spin, or hit a wall and the run of points ends.

There is no race and no rival. Each track is a place to practice lines, and the score is the reward. Points turn into money, and money turns into cars.


## Cars and tuning

There are over 20 cars, from cheap starters to expensive sports cars, and several tracks to drive them on. Every car has upgrade categories and a full tuning menu.

Tuning is where the depth is. Small changes to how the car is set up change how easily it breaks loose and how long it holds the slide. A car that feels wrong is often a setup away from feeling right.


## Tips and Roam drift racers

- **Learn one car**: Stick with one car until you can hold a long drift on every corner.
- **Drift the whole corner**: Start the slide early and hold it to the exit for bigger points.
- **Upgrade before you buy**: A tuned cheap car can score more than a stock expensive one.
- **Sideways After Dark**: A Roam night drift racer: neon harbor, one purple car, all sideways.
- **Pixel Drift Rally**: A Roam arcade rally. Hold to drift, tap for nitro, pass them all.
